I heard contrasting reviews on this drama but, having basically watched all other BLs in Thai industry and being that this series stars Gun, here I am. As I was expecting, the first 6 episodes were a blast and I bingewatched them in one night... now, I suppose the pain will start. ^^'
Ok, this series is making me laugh so much: the sketches between Maze&Phap are so funny, they have a great "friendship" chemistry! But, I felt like the "lovers" moment in ep 6 was soooooooo abrupt and empty... honestly it made me a bit sad because I was really hoping for something better.
I like the contrast between the openness and direct acting of Tae/Phap who is always over the top but yet feeling natural, and the subtle acting of Maze/Singto who's in a very "emotionless" role but still manages to come out in certain moments (I don't know if I made myself clear, sorry XD). I think slowly Phap's energy will take Maze out of the shell and he'll shine in the same way too. :)
Woah! This short series manages to tell a deeper, more complex and better done story then many longer products out there! Kudos to everyone involved in this project! The actors are AMAZING, especially Noah/YuShi who is so convincing in both the identities. There were so many meaningful scenes that were put together in a mosaic of little "bites of life", that together created a story with characters who grew, evolved, were so real!
The only thing I didn't love was the "secondary couple" that honestly was a bit too rushed, but I understand it was put there probably in the hope of another series.
I am SO amazed at this series, each and every episode is so meaningful and rich! PxP are a terrific couple, so balanced and fresh and real... the perfect friends/lovers .<3
But I must admit for almost half of this episode I kept watching Pa and thinking, jeez isn't she the cutest girl on earth! She has such perfect and harmonious facial features! Please P'Ink leave her to me, I want to marry this cutiepie! <3
Loved it! Unfortunately the video quality on youtube wasn't great but still, I'm grateful it was there! Beautiful performance from the leading actors, interesting plot and definitely well made. It was rough at times while showing the struggles of a single mother (..."sort of"), of a woman at work, of people trying to find themselves, of people challenging their beliefs... deep, sweet, interesting.
The only thing I didn't really like was the last part: I think somehow the storytelling underlined the fact that Tan(ya) was forced to grow in a way against his will, just like it was unnatural of him to be a drag... and the ending was therefore a bit too abrupt (even though the focus was the voyage and not the destination).
All in all, beautiful movie... and Ananda was very convincing both as Tan and as Tanya!
Thank you for this post! I just finished watching "Me Myself" and it was a great movie... thanks for suggesting it, even though it's old it's still a deep story with a couple of amazing actors.
From time to time I come back to SOTUS, and I always ask myself: with all the amazing pictures from Singto, why did they choose that terrible one for the main poster? XD
This is probably the series I took the most time to watch. I kept falling asleep again and again and AGAIN. Unfortunately I have this "don't-drop-anything" syndrome and I had to finish it, but I must admit I fast forwarded the last 3 episodes... yeah exactly: it took me FOUR MONTHS to watch five episodes and then I just watched the last three in one hour fast forwarding. Which wasn't a huge miss, since basically all we've got are the same scenes repeated in different orders or from different angles or told by different people.
The idea perse is not bad and let's give credits to some amazing cinematography (sometimes) and atmospheres (sometimes). The "nostalgic melancholy" that pervades most of the first part is very deep and feels real and vivid. But then when the real plot starts... well, it doesn't actually start because it keeps curling in itself flashback after flashback. I also didn't really like the acting, I understand that most of the actors are rookies but it felt too stiff for me.
The songs were a pain, pardon me... I usually love OST and songs in thai dramas but here it was a bit TOO much of people singing. ^^' And the ending? What was that ending for? It looks like it implies a second season is coming and I really ask myself... why?
Oooook, I had a huge problem with the first two episodes because I kept thinking Phab/Tae totally looked like Rowan Atkinson (Mr.Bean) and I couldn't stand it. ^^' XD
Now that I finished episode 5 and waiting for 6, I must say I like this series and the chemistry between Singto&Tae! Singto has such amazing eyes, he can melt you with sweetness or anger in a split second! Aaaaaand I'm so in love with Maengmum as always. :3
I can't stand these two guys together anymore, how can it be that they are always so perfect?? T.T I cried all my tears (again!) watching them act in this short video AND in the MV, they are incredible!
Finished! All in all it was a fun watch but nothing more. The plot is trite and the production feels a bit cheap, especially after watching other 2020/2021 thai BL projects. The OST is pretty good and the comedy is fun, even though a bit cringy sometimes.
The worst part to me was the acting, I found the side couple unbearable because the acting was so stretched from both sides... so I ended up fast-forwarding many scenes. And as for the main couple... well, Pond was quite lovely as Mork but Phuwin's Pi didn't grow on me.
And I really didn't get why for Pi it was ok to fall for Nan but not for Mork.
The next two weeks are going to be the most painful wait ever! T.T
Each and every character in this series looks promising, AND is amazingly acted. I must admit I'm breathless whenever Off pops up, I love how he looks with the hair so short, and he's giving such a convincing performance! I also love the fact that the BL vibes are there but they do not steal time/importance out of the main story and the development of the plot.
And btw, the OST is on endless repeat on my iphone since watching ep1.
Loved it! I was expecting something basic just to give us loads of fanservice, but turns out as a fun and well-made series! A bit short, but all the actors had their good moments and the group chemistry was amazing, it felt like a webcam hidden in a house of weirdos. I'll rewatch it for sure when I have some down moments!
Just starting a little discussion here. What do you think of the possibility of the one spotting Pat and Pran…
Honestly I thought it was Pat's dad too, and he probably didn't react because he was too shocked (or angry). And plus, Wai looked way too surprised to see PxP at the end of ep.8 in the theater, so i don't think it was him in the parking lot...
I'm not sure about dramas, but there are some Asian western movies.Japan: Sukiyaki Western Django (2007), Trigun…
While reading this post I realized time flies so fast: I went to the cinema to watch SWD and TGTBTW when they came out.... holy, it was such a long time ago! XD

All in all, one of the best gay stories of 2021.

Can't wait for the new dramas of 2022. =3
